Big Pine Creek runs right alongside the road, affording easy vehicle access for anglers. At road's end (just beyond where the turn-off to Glacier Lodge is posted ), the creek flows north and south into the backcountry.

The California Dept. of Fish and Game stocks Big Pine Creek from Sage Flat Campground to Glacier Lodge, and the Glacier Lodge pond, with rainbow trout every other week.

We also have a fish cleaning station located next to our general store.

The trail takes hikers to Lakes 1 through 7. Third Lake is fed directly from the Palisade Glacier, causing it to be a milky turquoise color. Temple Crag looms over the trail and can be seen before one even reaches the first lake.
